I have never seen such incredible service anywhere. Even Civil Defence officials were working day and night to help people in need. From day one I saw police cars taking rounds of Sharjah to help people in need. Even many individuals were knocking on the doors of buildings and asking if anybody needed any help.
The entire city became like a family. People forgot their pain and started helping each other. I loved the way Sharjah came to the fore during such a tough time. I am fortunate to have been living in this incredible place.
